Dear Señora - Comments

Aw, this is gorgeous!

This is beautiful.

Jesus. This was awesome. Your writing, I mean. Your writing was EPICLY awesome. And the emotions and that behind it was so raw as well. I felt like I was you.
Good stuff. :)

Whoa. I was totally not expecting something like this, hosting a 'write a letter' contest. You blew me out of the water with this. Your writing was so raw and emotional. The whole incident behind the letter was just engrossing.

I couldn't stop reading the whole time and I almost wanted there to be even more writing. You just did such an amazing job on this.

The way you wrote this described your love for this teacher and also the confusion and almost guilty emotions as well.

This was amazing. Just wonderful. I really did love it.

This was a wonderful letter. It was beautifully written. I really enjoyed it.

I really really enjoyed this piece.

I think it's really brave of you to put this out there, especially since it's all based on true events, when it's something that other's may feel uncomfortable about and ridicule you for. But I thought it was amazing.

I really love how in the opening paragraph you mentioned remembering the exact outfit that Senora wore to the first day of class. You described it well and it showed that you had a definite attraction to her by remembering something like that when she might not.

I understood your feelings towards her...how you felt about her because she made time to work with you one-on-one and you really liked that because it made you feel like you were the most important person in the world. I've had those kinds of feelings about someone before so I can definitely relate.

Your portrayal of emotion and feelings in this piece was incredibly - I could almost feel just how much you really loved this woman and how confused you were about it all. Especially when you spoke about the law teacher who the other girls obsessed over but you didn't. Again, I've been there before.

I also liked your feelings towards her husband - they were raw and very real. I often used to be jealous of the spouse of a teacher I was infatuated with, so much so that in my head I used to think the spouse was never good enough for the teacher I was crushing on, so I can understand your thoughts and feelings towards Senora's husband.

I'll wrap this up by saying that I enjoyed how you ended the note, telling Senora that you still think about her and how she was your first true crush, since we never forget our first.

I really really really loved this piece of writing and I did find it to be just as emotional as the other letters in the contest. I can see how important this teacher was to you and how much it must have taken out of you to write this letter. I wish you all the best of luck. ^^
